Eastern Treatment plant • Primary Treatment • Sludge • Grass Filtration • Land Filtration • Lagooning • Aerobic • Facultative
Primary Treatment • Removes undissolved material and 70% of B.O.D. and includes: • Screening • Filtration • Sedimentation • Floatation • Product is “primary sludge”
Secondary Treatment • Bacteria digest organic mater • Aerobic • Anaerobic • Aerobic Digestion • Little smell • Trickle filter • Activated sludge • Aeration tanks • “Secondary sludge” left over • Hard to digest material
Anaerobic Digestion • cellulose • lignin etc • Hard to digest material • Smelly gases produced • NH3 , H2S • Combustable Gases produced • Methane • Hydrogen • used to generate power • Anaerobic Sludge Digestion
Co-Generation Plant • Uses Methane from Anaerobic digestion
